The Hound of the Baskervilles

Sample

When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead with an expression of sheer terror on his face, Holmes is asked to solve the mystery of who (or what) killed him, while also protecting Charles’ nephew and heir, Sir Henry Baskerville. Holmes sends Watson to Baskerville Hall in the lonely moors of southwest England to investigate….

There is no disputing or denying the perennial popularity of Sherlock Holmes, the most famous of all fictional detectives. He became a household name almost as soon as he made his debut in A Study in Scarlet in 1887 and he has remained a household name ever since. It is indeed ironic that Sherlock Holmes is much better known than the author who created him.
